I had a teacher that did that in high school, but they were clearly looking for certain answers to open ended questions. An aspect of the class was determining just what kind of answers the grader would grade highly over other equally valid answers. At least with other kinds of tests, there's much less room for bias or interpretation, even if it still exists.
